Be sure to join us on Tuesday, March 3 for Academic Fair! This is a premier event featuring the works of....your children! Each level will be open for families as well as visitors. Younger students and their families are encouraged to join the fun in Upper Elementary and Middle School. You won’t want to miss the Upper Elementary and Middle School presentations. These students have picked topics to research and created visual and oral presentations to astound audiences. Also on the afternoon’s agenda: the Art Show in the Media Center. The library will be filled to overflowing with art from all ages. Come see what the students have been learning from Theresa Dean and Courtney Denis.

Passport to Learning is back by popular demand! Each student will be given a Passport to Learning - a booklet to be filled with stickers from each class visit and then it can be redeemed at the Front Office for a slap bracelet. Stickers may be obtained at each of the following areas - Media Center, Livia’s Upper Elementary classroom, Ellen’s Upper Elementary classroom, Middle School’s Math/Science room (between the UEC classes) and Middle School’s Liberal Arts room (back of Norma’s and Rosanne’s classes).

Chinese New Year celebrations are marking the end of a long winter and the beginning of spring. The traditional celebration (also called “Spring Festival”) is based on the Lunar Calendar and corresponds to the first full moon of the year. Students in Rosanne’s and Jackie’s class celebrated on February 19th, the Year of the Sheep. It’s a holiday wrapped in friends, family and colorful customs. Why a Sheep?

Each year is assigned an animal that corresponds to the Chinese Zodiac. It is believed that persons born under these signs take on certain characteristics of the animal for the birth year. That means that babies born during this year (February 19, 2015 to February 7, 2016) will assume qualities of kindness, elegance, creativity and loyalty. As the longest public holiday in China, the New Year Festival is, above all, a reunion for families as generations gather to not only celebrate, but also enjoy time together.

Whether you’re yearning for warm weather or cold, the Spirit Store has several deals and new items that will jump start your Spring Break or next holiday. If you’re heading to the slopes, our winter beanie and fleece or sweatshirt combo for $40 is a sure bet. Or if it’s off to the beach, the Springmont book bag and insulated tumbler is a winner at $25. Our new items include a Springmont Smart Wallet, which is a self-adhesive silicone pocket that holds business and credit cards as well as cash and removes without leaving a mark on your phone. Also new to the Store are the paracord bracelets. This hip, new trend is a lightweight bracelet made from nylon rope originally used in lines of parachutes. This cord is useful for many other tasks, and is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians, as well as sporting our Springmont logo! We’re selling these for $8 in both youth and adult sizes. Preorder a paracord bracelet at the Academic Fair or shop online now: www.springmont.com.

On February 28, Springmont will take part in CBS46’s Parents Be Smart Be Healthy Expo at Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The expo, hosted in partnership with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, centers on healthy lifestyles cradle to career.
